This is so terrifying and it's all happening at break neck speed. I feel so helpless. It's like some nightmare version of whack-a-mole.

MODERATORS
Their states strategy is to overwhelm the system so it/we cannot cope. I haven't heard of a good strategy to counter this, but we'll need to find one.
The second amendment gives us the right to bear arms against a tyrannical government.
It will come to people arming up and then violence as they begin to shoot people out of fear for their lives.
Nothing like Hitler's rise to power. Both sides. Blah blah blah.
Clinton and Obama over saw two massive economic recoveries, and trump and Bush have birth to absolute dumpster fire economies... But sure vote for conservative "for the economy."
Every conservative in office is a nazi supporting piece of shit.
Also, things under Biden were at nearly record levels for so many indicators - in good directions.
There are just a lot of very stupid people.
And YES I'm blaming the voters. And a big fucking thanks to the "liberal media" that kept talking down the economy, FFS.
For anyone who isn't white for the next four(ty) years, I'm really sorry.
There are a lot of whites that are going to be harmed as well. Believe that.
Anyone who isn’t a white able bodied straight man who is middle - upper class and isn’t a leftist.
Hey, plenty of white women and white poor people will get fucked as well.
Which is why my wife and I are desperately trying to move to Canada. I'm so sick of the US.
Can you tell me how you're doing it? It seems really difficult.
It is difficult. Basically you have to apply. Prove you can contribute to their country/society . Apply and wait. It can take several months to get denied.
Trying to apply for jobs and get sponsored for a work visa. I don't have a degree, so it's kind of my only option.
True. Those aren't the 'pure' whites though.
To be fair, non-white people will undoubtedly have it worse.
Perhaps. White women aren't going to be happy. Poor white men are getting and are going to get fucked. Racial purity has more to do with status and wealth this time.
Poor white men are getting and are going to get fucked.
They will love it because it's their people fucking them. Hold the lube? No problem.
White women will be in a utopia compared to black women, who are already at the bottom in American society.
As long as the neo-Nazis find you 'hot', you'll be as well off as the white women
Sure, just as well off... like all the women in concentration camps the original lot took as "mistresses" before murdering them anyway.
Yeah, you're catching on.
White women will not have that level of worry until long after the black women are gone.
I'm not sure what that means
It means that white women have a lot less to worry about right now.
Right now? What do black women have to worry about that white women don't? I don't mean to pick sides on a race argument, but I really don't know where you're coming from.
Easier to get a job if you're white whether male or female, easier to get a loan, a home, anything that requires someone to approve what you're doing. Also easier if you're a black man. If you're a black woman? Especially one with a "black" name? You're often fucked. Many studies have shown this.
And then there's the incarceration rate.

Yeah, but don't risk taking power from women with misleading facts. The black stats are largely to do with poverty, not with being black. Actually all of the 'oh-god-help-me' stats are to do with being poor. Yes, it's well known that black people are mistreated in society. That has nothing to do with imminent fascism, it's just how fucked up society was in the first place. The incarceration rate is entirely due to blacks being relegated to poverty and re-enslaved by the system we all apparently supported before Trump. We'll agree it's fucking disgusting.
If it were largely to do with poverty, it would not be so radically higher for black women.
If what was?
The incarceration rate? The thing you said had to do with poverty? Are you not reading your own posts?
Yeah, black people are going to experience a equivalent amount more pain compared to what they already did before Trump fascism.
The incarceration rate certainly doesn't show that black women are more incarcerated than black men
Certainly more than white women, for the reasons I already vomited
We were talking about black women vs. white women, you're changing the subject from your own posts, and I think you're just trolling at this point.
But doxxing the folks working for Elon in the Treasury department is a crime?
Okay.
This is the "law and order" the qons so very much crave.
Law and order will be applied to all of YOU - meaning the others, the peasants, etc...law and order does not apply to ME - meaning those considered part of the in-group.
Naturally a lot of peasant dumbass qons think they'll be part of the in-group. 🤣
Either those people are illegally in the Treasury systems and should be identified or they're legitimate government employees and their public has a right to know who they are.
Okay.
Wonder where they are getting their information. Wonder if it's legal.
Info about fed employees' names, job titles, and salaries is publicly available info, bc the government is actually more transparent than the slack-jawed yokels will have you believe. Kinda like how your political party affiliation and whether you voted is publicly available.
There unfortunately are legal ways to get such information (and much more) with a bit of money, but I somehow doubt they are smart enough for that. I suspect they have someone leaking internal information, which could be illegal.
People are looking the other way as this is happening. What if camps are built to more efficiently process those involved, will anyone oppose it? I do not know if it will happen again but what this all shows is how it could and how readily people fall in line.
Every single post or mention I see that's critical of Trump's mass deportation actions is followed immediately with ''they are criminals, they broke the law'' they are ready for all levels of genocide and there's plenty of sensible kick the can democrats who are ALSO ready to not care when this happens. After all. They broke the law.
Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
They view this comment as they view their Bible they closely hold to their heart as they spew hate and ignorance across the entire populace.
I believe you could make an argument that those words are the highest ever spoken by humanity, the closest we have come to the Divine. I would not want those that felt that then to know how we speak today.
This feels like it should be a federal crime.
